An acid is a chemical substance that has a sour taste and is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value less than 7. It turns blue litmus paper (pH indicator) red. Citric acid is a common acid found in lemon.

Alkali and base are the same thing. An Alkali is a chemical substance that has a soapy feeling and a bitter taste. It is corrosive if concentrated. It has a pH value greater than 7. It turns red litmus paper blue. Alkalis are commonly found in shampoos. The burning in eyes when such products get into eyes is caused by alkalis. Sodium hydroxide is a common alkali.

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 138 mol of hydrogen gas and 64 mol of oxygen gas.
charle [14.2K]
2H₂₍g₎ + O₂ ₍g₎→ 2H₂O

138 mol H₂ × (2 mol H₂O ÷ 2 mol H₂)= 138 mol H₂O
64 mol O₂ × (2 mol H₂O ÷ 1 mol O₂)= 128 mol H₂O

128 mol H₂O

Consider the reaction below. HI + H2O mc014-1.jpg H3O+ + I– Which is an acid-conjugate base pair? HI and H2O H2O and H3O+ H3O+ a
lesya692 [45]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry, species which donate a proton are known as acid. The species which accept a proton are known as a base.

In the given reaction, acids and bases are as follows.

    HI  +   H_{2}O \rightarrow    H_{3}O^{+}           +         I^{-}

 Acid        Base     Conjugate acid   Conjugate base

Therefore, the acid HI loses a proton to form a conjugate base that is I^{-}.

Thus, we can conclude that HI and I^{-} is an acid conjugate base pair.

If a patient\'s blood pressure is 145 over 65 mmHg, what is it in atmospheres (atm)
kicyunya [14]

Converting mmHg to atm is solved by division.

Example: Convert 745.0 to atm.

Solution- divide the mmHg value by the 760.0 mmHg / atm.

745 mmHg over 760.0 mmHg/atm

atm value is 0.980263

Now, I am a medical student and we have never had to convert a BP (blood pressure) to atm from mmHg, only ever kPA. SO, I am going to take a guess here and say that when you do the work to solve this, you are going to convert the Systolic (upper #) which is the 145. You should get 0.190789 and then convert the Diastolic (lower #) which is 65. You should get 0.08552632.

So your fraction so to speak should read, 0.190789/0.08552632 or 0.190789 over 0.08552632

(Just to note that is way to low of a BP, although it is irrelevant) Best wishes and good luck. "Remember, never just look for the right answer, look for why it is the right answer!"
